    Don't know what the connection is but the answers are :

    1 Christmas Day in the Workhouse

    2 Michaelmas Daisy

    3 Midsummers Day

    Hope that's of some use to someone.

    I don't think the answer is this simple, but they are all Quarter Days. Christmas, Michaelmas, Midsummers Day and the missing one is Lady Day. The only thing putting me off this answer is the Daisy bit. :) Can't find anything more apt as yet.
    Never put tables and chairs in the same room.
    If they congregate together for any length of time, they will inevitably hatch plots against you and your pets.

    I think the Daisy bit belongs to 37 across as that's only 5 letters ;) so let's disregard Daisy.
